Amy Winehouse by Pegasus

Originally from Chicago, Pegasus is a pseudonym of a North London street artist who has been stenciling around the city, painting our world’s most recognizable celebrities and pop culture icons, such as Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Middleton, John F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley, Queen Elizabeth, Barack Obama and many more. Still, one of his most notable works is a stencil piece called Fallen Angel, an image of Amy Winehouse painted in Camden, as an homage to the late singer. The artwork became an unofficial shrine in 2011. In the same area, her home, another piece dedicated to Amy Winehouse by Pegasus was entitled Atmosphere, found on The Earl of Camden pub. To help out the work of the Amy Winehouse Foundation, Pegasus has created yet another artwork dedicated to his muse, in collaboration with Hawkins & Blue.
